In the midfield, Jorginho and N'Golo Kante are likely to feature from the off, given the importance of the tie. Alongside the duo, Ross Barkley could enter the fray after featuring regularly from the bench for the league duties of late.

In the frontline, Pedro and Hudson-Odoi are likely choices to feature in the wings with Eden Hazard set to feature on the bench. Olivier Giroud should lead the line ahead of Gonzalo Higuain, who has been the preferred pick in the league.
